Listen to La-Ode’s podcast interviewing Sri, a social media influencer, about E-Money as a means for online purchasing.

One morning, in a Library Cafe, La Ode is interviewing Sri, a social media influencer.

La Ode: “Hello guys. This is La-Ode, greeting you again from our podcast studio. Today is so special because I am Let’s meet our guest, Sri.”

La Ode: “Hi Sri, How are you doing?”

Sri: “Hi bro.,I am good.”

La Ode: “I heard your social account has reached more than 700K.”

Sri: “Thanks.”

La Ode: “I feel happy for you.”

Sri: “Thank you again. It’s a blessing in disguise since it was pandemic two years ago. People have bought things online. My social media account was nearly just for my personal 
needs.”

La Ode: “Okay. you are invited to share your experience dealing with …(1)... platforms. Can you tell us how you came up with the idea of selling products online using your social media account and shifting from cash-based to cashless society?”

Sri:  “Well, let me start from the reason why I decided to start my online shop. Back then, I have a memory as a girl, saving my pocket money by placing it in a special rooster piggy bank, the silver rupiah coins collected into a pile full of coins. Did you know?”

La Ode: “Yeahhh.I used to place coins in it.”

Sri: “Then, I got my first debit card when “Yeahhh.I used to place coins in it.”I was 20. Later, I saved up money for a gap year, by working as a sales promotion girl in a supermarket, and I put the money into a savings account.”

La Ode: “So how did you make up your 
mind by starting your online shop?”

Sri: “Let me go on. Fast forward to 2019, I resigned as a sales promotion girl and tried my luck to sell things online as I started to have many followers in my social media account. “

La Ode: “I see.”

Sri: “As far as I know, at that moment, some people were familiar withcashless. Sometimes, they use smartphones for payment with a QR code.”
 
La Ode:  “Do you know how QR codes work?”

Sri:  “Yes, I do. I learned it from a friend who works in a bank. He told me that once the QR codes are scanned, the online  system would immediately …(2)... the exact amount owed from the payer’s …(3).... No …(4)... for cash and waiting for change. No swipe of a plastic card either. The transaction would take seconds.”

La Ode: “So, what do you think about their habits?”

Sri: “Frankly speaking, I was tempted. But there were a couple of reasons why I kept using physical money and avoided getting into …(5)... and e-wallets.”

La Ode: “What are the reasons?”

Sri: “Firstly, I felt it was safer. I wasn’t really aware of how electronic money would work on my smartphone and I feared it would somehow get easily …(6)... off. Having physical cash just felt safer.”

La Ode:  “You think so huh? I was …(7)... once the e-money got siphoned off.”

Sri: “It did?!”

La Ode: “Yes, even It took me more time to get back using the e-wallet.”

Sri: “That’s horrible.”

La Ode: “Okay, tell me more about the story.”

Sri: “I feared that by moving to electronic payments and losing greater friction of paying with cash, I would end up spending more.”

La Ode:  “Yes, absolutely. It feels like we are losing physical transactions.”

Sri: “It’s weird, huh?! Do you think these fears are justified? As more and more people across the world …(8)... cash, these are essential issues to consider.” 

La Ode: “Yes, they are. Yet, if we keep using cash, it seems that we are …(9)... behind.”

Sri: “That’s the point. For people who live in these increasingly cashless societies, the benefits of electronic payment are obvious.”

La Ode: “What do you mean?”

Sri:  “It’s very convenient. And this is the reason I started my online shop. So, to me, it is like living in a world where you get all the benefits of spending, without the pain of paying.”

La Ode: “Yes, I can see that your online shop is emerging and getting big. I can sum up that as more societies move from …(10)... to cashless, the way we spend might change.”

Sri: “It does change. And not to forget that money will remain a governing force in the lives of humans.”

La Ode:  “What an experience!  That was a wise closing statement. Well, I am sure this is the end of our podcast everyone. Congratulations to you, hope your e-commerce platforms will inspire other young entrepreneurs out there. Keep inspiring!”

Sri: “Thank you friend. It’s a pleasure to get invited to your podcast. Good luck to you too.”

La Ode: “Okay guys. I’ll see you when I see you. Bye.”
